Donald Trump’s attorneys have conducted an internal investigation, ordered by Trump himself, into allegations that Boris Epshteyn sought to gain financially from his influence within Trump's orbit. The investigation, conducted by Trump's legal team, found evidence that Epshteyn requested monthly consulting fees from political candidates, a defense contractor, and at least one potential Cabinet nominee in exchange for promoting them for administration positions. The review recommended ending Epshteyn's employment and proximity to Trump to avoid potential scandal and possible criminal charges. Epshteyn denies the allegations.
